Tools of the Trade Is there a better place than LA to learn about resources on film? "They Never Covered This in Library School: Basic Resources in Costume, Art Direction, Film, and Artists' Videos" is the ideal workshop for inquiring minds. The workshop will cover both print and electronic resources needed to research films, and video collections. The development of both the feature film industry and the new Time Art will be described, the strengths and weaknesses of specific tools discussed, and collection development strategies laid out. Preservation, storage, and space planning issues for these media will also be addressed. The workshop is being held at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Resource and Research Center.

King, Katherine Ng, Sue Ann Robinson, and Beth Thielen all talking book talk and moderated by Judith Hoffberg to boot?
